Volume 1, Chapter 39: Storage

The carriage stopped.

Yueyao heard the coachman say, please get out of the car, I don't know why my heart fluttered. I really came to Huitong Bank, and Yue Yao stroked the box with her hand. Goodbye it, maybe eight years, or even more.

Yueyao put on her hat and got out of the carriage. Even though he was wearing a hat, he still saw four golden characters on the door: "Huitong Bank." ”

Yue Yao looked at these four big characters cast in gold and smiled, it is really wealthy, and this plaque will be ten thousand gold.

When I got out of the carriage, I saw two big Pixiu beasts at the door, and the two Pixiu opened their mouths. Pixiu beckons wealth, only in but not out, and is most suitable for Qianzhuang people to be town beasts.

When I walked up the stairs and stepped through the door, I found that not only the door handle on the Zhu door was of fine marble. It is the corridor leading to the main hall, which is made of the finest marble.

As soon as he stepped on the steps, a young man in blue clothes ushered in: "May I ask this old man, is it ...... to deposit silver or withdraw silver?"

When Yue Yao heard this, she was a little surprised, she was here for the first time, and she was not familiar with the market here. Turned his head to look at Ma Chengteng.

Ma Chengteng said with a smile: "Let's set up a wing room for us!" Ma Chengteng didn't want others to know that his niece wanted to store things, and he didn't let Deng's mother take the things stored today, but replaced them with his long-term followers.

When Xiao Er heard this, the smile on his face became bigger and bigger, "Master, please go this way." "{One + {Read} novel YBDU people have said that they want a wing, and it is clear that they want VIP services, and they can't be laid off at all. Xiao Er is happy in his heart, and the big customers will receive this month's bonus by him.

Enter the main hall, in the middle of which is a marble screen with a gold shelf. On the left side of the black nanmu base lies the Fortune Pixiu, which is golden and shiny, larger than Yueyao, which is also made of pure gold. On the right is a one-meter-tall green pine, also with a nanmu base, carved from a single piece of black jade. Green pine represents longevity and longevity, which also means that the business will endure for a long time.

Yue Yao looked at the furnishings in the main hall and sighed in her heart, she was really wealthy. It is not in vain to waste the title of the world's first money bank. However, it is a strange thing that the money village does not have a god of wealth.

Xiao Er led them to the wing.

The wings are small but tasteful. Inside, the round tables are all made of rosewood, with pastries and fruits on the tables, and a painting on the wall. By the window, there is a desk. On the desk, there is a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

After Xiao Er led the person into the wing: "What do you have any instructions, master?" ”

Ma Chengteng nodded: "Please return to your shopkeeper." "Since you want to store it, and it's a long-term storage, you must find a shopkeeper to come and talk.

Xiao Er immediately went out.

Yue Yao smiled and looked at the painting on the wall. Hanging on the wall is a landscape painting of green mountains and green waters. This painting is in the vein of Wen's brushwork, and on the basis of the ink ink and color halo, it creates a heavy color green with a frame and color.

Ma Chengteng was also bored and talked about this painting with Yueyao. Mother Deng didn't understand, so she stood aside and waited.

The chief outside said that the shopkeeper came. Yue Yao looked at the door, and in came an old man in his fifties, wearing a royal blue satin robe, a little rounded, and his back slightly arched. He has a slight beard on his chin, and the beard is not very long. He has a kind face, and when he laughs, his eyes are narrowed into a slit.

The man asked respectfully: "Master, the contemptible surname is Qian, I don't know if the master needs a small service?" "The eyesight that these people have cultivated over many years, and when they look at the clothes of Ma Chengteng and Yueyao, although the clothes are not luxurious, the material is excellent satin. It must be a rich family. Since the roll call is for a box, it must be a big business.

Ma Chengteng looked at Yue Yao: "Yue Yao, you say it yourself!" "Huitong Bank's reputation is well known to the world, and I don't worry about leaking secrets or anything. It's up to Yueyao to say it herself.

Yue Yao smiled: "Money shopkeeper, I heard that things can be stored here. I don't know what the situation is. Can you tell me more about that? ”

After listening to Yueyao's words, the money shopkeeper saw Ma Chengteng nodding at him again, and felt very strange at the moment. However, due to the quality of his profession, he will not bother to ask about the affairs of the guests. Explain what Yueyao wants to know one by one.

After hearing this, Yue Yao said, "I'm going to store it for ten years." ”

The money shopkeeper glanced at Ma Chengteng again, and saw that he didn't speak: "Girl, it depends on what you store." I'll store it in a suitable place for you. "Things are different, and the places where they are stored must be different. Of course, the price is not the same.

It was definitely impossible for Yue Yao to say that she was storing ancient books, and said at the moment: "What I want to store is my father's ink treasure." After speaking, he took out the pineapple wooden box with a copper lock. Yueyao didn't open it for the money shopkeeper to see.

The money shopkeeper can be the shopkeeper in Huitong Bank, and he will definitely not ask what kind of Mobao: "This box only needs a small safe." The small safe is five hundred taels of silver a year, and the girl can give you a discount of 20% if it is stored for ten years. a total of four thousand taels of silver. Deliver clearly at the first time. "Four thousand trucks of silver is not a small amount.

Ma Chengteng has to pay.

Yue Yao shook her head: "Uncle, I'll pay for this money myself." "Ordinary people here can eat three meals for a family of twenty taels of silver a year. Four thousand taels is indeed a cheat, but since you want insurance and other people's services, you have to save it.

Ma Chengteng insisted: "This money will be given to you by your uncle." You have a lot of money to keep for you and you will have to use it in the future. After speaking, he took a silver ticket and gave it to the money shopkeeper and said, "Exchange it for a thousand taels of silver and broken silver." He doesn't need to say more about how it will be distributed. I believe that the money shopkeeper will be measured.

Last night, Ma Yuan told Ma Chengteng about Yueyao's performance. Ma Chengteng didn't mean it. A few thousand taels of silver, and when you spend it, you spend it.

Yueyao's heart was warm and astringent. The warm thing is that the uncle doesn't care about the silver money, and the astringent thing is that Mo Shi tries his best to calculate the silver money in her hand. It's a world of difference.

The money shopkeeper took the silver ticket and saw that it was the silver ticket of Huiyuan Bank, 10,000 taels. The words were more respectful: "Master, girl, please wait." After saying that, he went out with the silver ticket.

Soon, the shopkeeper came back and asked Ma Chengteng to follow Yueyao out. Ma Chengteng looked at Yue Yao and said, "Uncle is waiting here." "Yue Yao stored things, and he didn't need to go.

Yue Yao hesitated for a moment, and went out with the money shopkeeper with the small box. After walking for a while, I came to a very spacious room.

Yue Yao thought for a while and said cautiously: "Shopkeeper, I have books here, I'm worried that it will be damp and moldy?" "It's not that Yueyao thinks wide and far, but in the nunnery before, those scriptures often had to be dried. If it is not sunburned, it will become moldy and rotten.

The shopkeeper looked at Yue Yao, but he was a little surprised, the little girl knew quite a lot: "Don't worry, since you have already said that it is Mobao, we have corresponding preservation measures." Not to mention that it is damp and moldy, even insects will not grow. "Four hundred taels of silver a year is not something you get out of thin air.

Yueyao's face relaxed when she heard this assurance.

The money shopkeeper took a medicine bag from the hand: "Girl, you have Mobao in your box, and this medicine bag has to be put in your box." Otherwise, I can't guarantee that there will be no worms. "This is a specially worn medicine, stored for ten years, and then there is a special place to store it, without worrying about damage.

Only then did Yue Yao take the key from her neck, open the box, and put the medicine bag on the side. The money shopkeeper avoided it again, and didn't look at Yueyao's box.

The money shopkeeper took Yueyao's box and put it in the cabinet, locked the cabinet, and handed the key to Yueyao. and then seal it in front of Yueyao. Then let Yueyao make a mark on the seal herself. If it moves, the mark will disappear.

After these were done, Yue Yao saw a letter sealed with wax that she handed over to the money shopkeeper: "In the future, in addition to the key and bill, you must also have a letter with the same content as this one before you can take the things." That is to say, in the future, not only will you have to rely on the key and the bill, but the person who comes will have to take out the hand she just gave to the shopkeeper to get something.

The shopkeeper was surprised to see that Yue Yao was so thoughtful. However, Yueyao's request was not too much, that is, she just had to draw up a new contract.

Yueyao put the bill in her purse. The key is also strung to a rope and hung back around the neck. These things can only be relieved if they are kept close to her.

As soon as he returned to the wing, the man from Qian Zhuang brought two small boxes. A box of broken silver, a box of five coins or a two, two, two or two silver nude engraved with patterns such as plum blossoms, ruyi, etc. These silver nudes are good for tipping.

Ma Chengteng glanced at it and waved his hand: "Put it on the carriage!" "Ma Chengteng is a general caretaker. The accounts of the outer courtyard are also managed by the big housekeeper Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan only needs to report the accounts to him every month.

Speaking of which, Ma Chengteng has an advantage, that is, he does not doubt the use of people. Cheng's ability is limited, but his heart is very big, and he wants to hold the account of the outer courtyard in his hands. In order to pull the big housekeeper Ma Yuan off the horse, he even used to frame him. It's a pity that Ma Chengteng didn't pay attention to these evidences at all, and directly reprimanded Cheng. Therefore, let alone meddling in the affairs of the outer court, even the specific things are not clear. Of course, it is fortunate that Ma Yuan is loyal and selfless. If you don't hide your cunning, you won't be desperate to make money when you meet such a master

Out of Huiyuan Qianzhuang, it has been more than half an hour later. Ma Chengteng looked at the sky, and when it was close to noon, he said directly to the coachman: "Go to Hongfu Restaurant." ”

Yueyao knows Hongfu Restaurant, which is the best restaurant in Beijing. It is said that a casual meal is the cost of hundreds of taels of silver. Yue Yao was faintly uneasy in her heart. The Ma family, can you withstand such a toss, no matter how thick the foundation is, it won't take long to get fine and empty like this. The Ma family, can it really be trusted?

About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped.

Yue Yao got out of the carriage and looked at the imposing building in front of her. The building is one story taller than the surrounding buildings, and it has the flavor of standing out from the crowd.

"Hongfu Restaurant." Yue Yao looked at the four words above the gate, thinking that she didn't know which famous person it was. Of course, Hongfu Restaurant is the first restaurant in Beijing. You can't be the first without a strong background.

The traffic in front of Hongfu Restaurant is busy, and people who come in and out are all dressed in gorgeous clothes. The cuisine of Hongfu Restaurant is in the capital, except that it cannot be compared with the emperor's imperial dining room. It is called second in the capital, and absolutely no one dares to call it first.

Mother Deng said with some hesitation: "Master, the girl is still in the filial piety period." ”

Yueyao didn't wait for Ma Chengteng to reply, and said with a smile: "Entering the restaurant is just to eat, and you don't have to drink wine and eat meat." The vegetarian dishes of Hongfu Restaurant are also very delicious. "When I went out in my previous life, I often heard people praise the food here.

Mother Deng hurriedly said: "It's the slave's fault." "Mother Deng is a person who would make such a low-level mistake, but she tactfully reminded Ma Chengteng to order vegetarian food later, not to order meat.
